How Long Athletes Remain Athletes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?

The ability of an athlete to return to sporting activities after an anterior cruciate ligament injury is a major point of concern. The question about how long and at what capacity he or she will remain an athlete is difficult to answer. The general answer is that many differnt factors play role in this matter including: Whether the injury is an isolated tear or is associated with meniscus tear, cartilage defect or antero-lateral instability; what type of sporting activity is considered; what degree of instability is felt by the athlete; what the patientʹs age is; and what degree of motor loss (especially extension) is present. While the above factors determine the patientʹs return to sports, they may also contribute to later degenerative process in the knee. In this review, an attempt is made to answer some of the above questions.
